Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wi-Fiber experince

[Jason Watts]

So the spec sheet on that site mentions 2Gbps over 802.11N 2x2 MIMO.

Nope. 

Unfortunately that looks like vaporware or a  site designed to look like a real 
product until you read it.

The WiFiber SmartSecurity paper talks about motion detecting IP cameras and the 
next bullet mentions his these same cameras can be used to share moments with 
family and friends.

It's like someone took data sheets from five different products that are not 
wireless backhaul and smooshed them together.

I wouldn't care if the in-person pitch was perfect, if I saw that website I 
would run away.

If it IS wireless backhaul you're shopping for then there are plenty of decent 
products including the aforementioned Airfiber from Ubiquiti.

RE: Aruba Controller code recommendations

[Osborne, Bruce W (Network Services)]

Here at Liberty University, we are running 6.4.3.6 & 6.4.3.7 in our Production 
environment. I would recommend now running the latest 6.4.3.x GA which is 
6.4.3.9.

I believe 6.4.3.x introduced some feature improvements over 6.4.2.x.

Unless there is a new must-have feature (new model hardware support, for 
instance), we avoid ED releases in a Production environment. We only start 
looking at a new major release after the second GA version since many new bugs 
can be found after the initial GA release.

​We have HPE/Aruba support & engineering people who consult us on when a 
new major release is considered stable. We have been running 6.4.3.x for quite 
some time with no major concerns.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba Controller code recommendations

[Sidharth Nandury]

We are running v6.4.3.7 on the controller while running v8.2.0.2 here at
Denison University. The controller has not had any issues with it and works
great! While there are no compatibility issues with each other, Airwave has
had problems recognizing Cisco equipment gear. We have Cisco 2960X and S
series switches, both 24 and 48 port. Airwave recognizes these switches as
stack switches and instead of the particular model of switches that they
actually are. Also, there was the issue of duplicate devices, where when
scanning the network for devices it would add the device according to the
MAC address of the device and then also the devices according to the MAC
address of the management VLAN of the switch.

The code upgrade form 8.2.0.1 to 8.2.0.2 solved the duplicate device issue,
but we still continue to have problems with recognizing the correct Cisco
models.

We are moving to HP switches for our access layer this summer, we have
rolled out some switches already. Airwave seems to recognize these switches
correctly, give all the correct information but Auditing the device
configuration has not been successful so far. It may be that I am doing
something wrong, but I thought this was worth mentioning.

Thank you.

Regards,
Sid

RE: eduroam ssid

[Turner, Ryan H]

Yes.  We have a satellite school at UNC Asheville.  Up until recently, UNC 
Asheville was not running eduroam, and UNC Chapel Hill was the only occupant of 
a couple of buildings on campus.   UNC Asheville adopted eduroam and wanted to 
move into adjoining spaces.   So we were going to have  the situation where UNC 
Chapel Hill folks might attach to the wrong institution’s eduroam and vice 
versa.  We ended up bridging the two networks together through a single link, 
and based on realm, UNC Asheville will terminate UNC Chapel Hill folks directly 
to our network (through trunked vlans).  It is nice, because now anywhere on 
UNC Asheville campus, UNC Chapel Hill folks have UNC Chapel Hill IP space.  
Because it made sense, we actually turned off our access points and allowed UNC 
Asheville to provide wireless in our areas (so we wouldn’t have competing 
wireless).

We are an eduroam participating school and have multiple buildings that are

other school is wanting to join eduroam so my issue is when we are both 
broadcasting the same ssid in possibly the same airspace.  I have a felling 
this is going to cause many problems as clients could bounce back and forth

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco WLC code recommendations

Running HA-SSO (8.0.X)and have been experiencing issues since October. Multiple 
engineering releases have been provided by Cisco, the latest caused HA pairs to 
crash. That release was promptly downgraded.

HA-SSO is a great feature, but I have heard of multiple institutions running 
into problems since its inception. If you aren't experiencing problems with it, 
be weary of your next upgrade. We weren't having issues with 7.6 but began 
seeing them with 8.0. (opposite of Rice I believe)

I'm looking forward to the next suggested release, we try to stay off newer

We are running 8.1.131.0 code also on 8540 controllers with 2702 and 3702
APs. This is a recently new install and has only been up for several months,
but so far the code has been stable. 

 

Hopefully not too far off topic, but has anyone experienced issues with
running SSO high availability on their controllers and codes versions? In
the beginning we ran it without any issues, but swapped over to the N+1 per
third party recommendations. So I'm just looking for any info whether it be
good or bad.

We have 8510's running the 8.1.131.0 code with the 2702 and 702W aps.  We
started off on the 8.0.121.0 code during deployment last year. Since the the
deployment, we had two annoying issues (only on 702w aps) but has been a
issue since deployment and was not introduced in the 8.1 code.  Overall, the
code is working good.

We've been on the 8.0.XX for quite a while on our 5508's and it's been
pretty good. There's always a handful of somewhat annoying bugs but haven't
had any shockers. It seems to have been a pretty good code.

 

About to trial 8.2 though on 8510's so that's going to be interesting I'm
sure.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] eduroam ssid

[Curtis K. Larsen]

We're beginning to run into this problem as well.  Luckily, eduroam is not our 
primary SSID so at
least the critical business functions continue to work fine on a separate SSID. 
 My guess is that
we'll end up turning eduroam off at those remote locations if problems get 
reported.

In talking with the eduroam admin from the other institution they mentioned 
that when this occurs
in Europe the solution has been to change the name of the SSID.  Is this really 
allowed?  If so,
I'm sold!  Then we can start using our primary SSID with eduroam credentials!  
This is what I
always thought eduroam should have been.  To me the value was always in the 
universal credential
*NOT* the SSID name.  That was always a drawback for me especially as 
supplicants become easier to
configure.

The other problem that we're going to run into soon is that we will be phasing 
out PEAP on our
main SSID to mitigate against the evil twin vulnerability, but what do we do 
with eduroam?  I mean
I guess you could say it is the remote institution's problem, or the user's 
problem if they
connect to an evil twin on your campus because they're not validating the 
server.  But if the evil
twin is on your campus it seems you have at least some responsibility in the 
matter.  But as it
stands, eduroam will leave a bit of a gaping security hole for us.
